Hi Patrick -- Knowing that you will have more Effexor soon should keep you going ... that's great. If this is the first time you've had withdrawl symptoms like this, it can be a good learning experience, I think. Congratulations on finding the mix that works for you (EFfexor & Buspar). Being a young adult is tough enough without brain chemistry wroking against you! With having missed only a few days, you should be able to start back in on 300 mg. without problems -- at least that's been my experience. Good luck! By the way, if the reason you're out is that you have insurance that won't cover it again for a few days, your pharmicist will very likely "front" you a couple days of pills; mine does, bless his soul.

> I have been on Effexor Xr since i was 19/20 yrs old. im now almost 25. But today is the third day i have been without my effexor, and it has scared the "you know what out of me". I should be getting my prescription in another day or so, but last night i went to bed and 1.5 hrs later i woke up and had the most uneasy and not normal feeling. I had awaken from the most graphic and real nightmare i have had in a long time. I too also experience that pin and needle feelings when i miss a dose or two. I had the chills so bad, that i had my electric blanket on, plus my comforter and still couldnt get warm. I take 300 mg a day and I for the most part feel very good on the effexor when i take it. i also take buspar. But the fact that i cant miss a dose without withdrawl symptoms really sucks. I just found this website because the only thing that i could think today, was that i dont really have the Flu, it would have to be WITHDRAWL sypmtoms . Just Knowing that Im not the only one with the experiences of the chills/shakes, nightmares, and nausea, makes me feel a little better and a little less anxiety prone.
